Shattered Crypt

This one’s going to be fairly short because I
really don’t like this card. Yes, it can return more than one creature
to your hand but there are two problems with this card. First, if you’re
going for a low number of creatures, this card
is not worth it. For example, in the case of wanting to return one
creature to your hand, this card costs triple the cost of a
Disentombalong with losing a life which just isn’t worth it. For
multiple creatures, it becomes a mana- and life-sink. Finally, if
you’re going for more than 4 creatures, you might as well just go with a
Twilight's Call. Yeah, it give your opponents their creatures
back too, but if you’re in a situation where you need 4+ creatures back,
you’ve got to be ready to gamble with that fact.

Pros: Can return multiple creatures to your hand

Cons: Expensive (mana- and life-wise), inefficient for large or small numbers
